Can anyone give me a name, year, or other research starting point for the hysteria rumor incident that swept the county when the Ft. Wood butcher was suspected of grinding up the missing wife an selling her with the hamburger at the Commissary on post???

I agree completely! Why have none of them been brought to justice yet? I assume that some of them are snitching out the others in order to cover their own asses!

A major murder case takes a lot of time to get into a jury trial. Examples; we held one guy on a murder charge, change of venue from Cape Girardeau County, for almost five years before he was convicted. We held one local murder suspect in jail for four years before she was convicted. We had another local case, murder second of a small child where it took four years almost to the exact week to get in front of a jury. He was convicted.

The case in question you all are posting on is not one that I worked on but I seem to recall that one of the lessor charged people has already pleaded guilty. I may be wrong on this because like I said not my case, do not know the small details.

Well let's see, there were the 3 broken bones in Jan. of 2014, followed by a six procedure shoulder surgery in May of 2014, and oh ya the cardiac incident on the last day of October 2014. Right now I feel good just to be responding to your remarks. I have been working two complex investigations in between the doc meets and the cases are not moving along very fast. But all in all retirement is pretty good. The only real bad note is that I cannot get it through Ron's head that I am not interested in taking over the supervision of the jail. He offers me the job almost every time we meet. And if you read this Ron the answer is still NO!

I dont think I would have even responded. OMG, your office did not even hanlde the case. Oh, wait! The coverup goes all the way to Jeff City, No wait!! I bet the Feds even had something to do with covering it up.

You are correct, my office did not do the investigation. However I am also a citizen of the county/city in question so now that I cannot be accused of looking for votes I would like to think I can still say what is on my mind. In this case I have been told who the "officer" was who did the "investigation" and I am not a fan of his work efforts. If I find out later that my source was wrong on the ID of the officer I will also post that info.

NOT A RUMOR ANYMORE....IT WAS AN ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER...JUSTICE IN A CIVIL SUIT FOR THE FAMILY BUT NOT JUSTICE FOR THE CRIME OR THE COVER UP!!! THIS DISGUSTS ME!! Just read about it in court documents...we need honest police officers!! by reading of court documents Chief Carter was NOT the person to speak to...such an absolute shame!

You do have honest police officers. The so called court documents you read were very one sided in nature. The MSHP/DDCC investigation cleared the officer and found no damage to the patrol car. Recently one officer and the city of Waynesville were removed from the civil lawsuit by the Judge. Three officers remain in the lawsuit.

Several very large cities, Detroit comes to mind, were "war zones" for police thirty plus years ago long before the rise of SWAT and the armored vehicles the article said that were leading to the "war zone" status. The article was mostly BS. But if they were going after one person the force was not needed however that part of the article provided zero facts to look at so overkill might be an invalid statement.

Oops! I did not know this short bit would end up on the home page of the Pulaski County Web under Sheriff Ron Long's name. I have already sent him a sorry message and have assured him I am not trying to win back the office or the jail. Thought I should tell everybody else the same.JB

Just for grins I went to the home page of the PCSD (on 1-4-14) to see how things were looking at the start of 2014. First off I was the 52,508th visitor to the site since I opened it up on day one. The jail list was impressive as of 1-3-14. If I counted right we had 85 inmates. There are 23 held on no bond cases. There are 28 held with a bond of $100K or more. I see why Ron keeps trying to sell me the jail every time we talk. No thanks pal you wanted that present and it’s all yours.

Last year I had researched (with the very able help of Whitney Medlin, Deputy Pulaski County Clerk) the list of former Pulaski County Sheriff’s for Sheriff Ron Long and he has now posted that list on the website. So if you are a Pulaski County history buff read away. All in all business as usual and the beat goes on.

Sheriff prob wont see this but any word on these two ladies in a van that keep coming to my house with joy dish soap, or glade air freshner wanting to come into my house and clean for 10 minutes. Its pretty obvious they are casing homes for whatever reason.

Even if he does see this it is worthless as info as it is written. What part of Pulaski County? Close address? and what does their vehicle look like? Make, color, model and license plate # would be very good. What do the ladies look like? Do they leave a business card? Any particular time of the day or night they show up? Anybody that you know of that has used their services?

OK, how about you tell us your plan to supply the PCSD with 22 cars when your budget for 6 years was $0.00. Where did you plan to get your cars? Would you work on older cars? How did you plan to get the cars? I cannot wait to see your plan of attack to this very minor problem. It probably would have been better to have had your superior planning ability on tap while I was in office but I am willing to learn late lessons from a master. So talk to us Edward.
